Professor Smith wants me to stop with the point and shoot cameras on auto. Yeah right! But I am attempting to manually do my pictures here and there getting used to the camera. I didn't have the aperature and shutter speed right in this picture.
Here it's getting better, but noone was ready for the picture.
I'll get a lot of practice trying to be quick with all these crazy guys!
We cook a lot at home! We both really enjoy it. But we also really enjoy eating out and try to go out to a nice dinner at least once or twice a week. We usually only eat fast food 2 or 3 times a week. Well, this week we had already had Wendy's twice and McDonald's once (the boys have started to really love burgers). We also made burgers two nights at home this week because the boys request burgers so much lately.
Well, we got so much done today around the house and were really looking forward to our plan to eat at PF Chang's tonight. Well, yes, Kevin had asked me if we needed to make reservations! Guess you know what I must've said. Who would've thought they'd have an hour wait at 5:30? (obviously, not me!) And our boys really like to eat by 6:00. So, we decided to call our back up plan - Miyabi - booked until 8:30. So, we decided to go to Outback and were on the way there when we decided we eat at Outback way too much. We wanted something different, so we decided to go to Carraba's. (Of course we did call ahead to both of these places after the mistake of not calling PF Chang's.) Keep in mind all these places are about 10 minutes away from each other all in different directions at the beach.
As we were passing Wendy's at about 6:00, we decided it would be too long before we actually got to eat at Carraba's after driving getting seated and ordering. The boys were both requesting burgers at this point. So, it just made since to stop at Wendy's. It wasn't what we wanted, but it was good. Well, we ate and did our shopping around at the beach. We were at Bruster's to get our ice cream when I realized I didn't have my debit card. Oh yeah, it was back at Wendy's. Needless to say we burned over half a tank of gas in Kevin's truck tonight!
And he's been so creative on how to tell me we should've called ahead! Just a little bit ago, he told me he thought he had some PF Chang's chicken stuck in his teeth. Ha! Ha! Good thing we love each other! And here's the boys delirious from all the back and forth trips tonight. They thought everything was funny at this point. Cade is just pressing this ball to his face and Carson thinks it's hilarious. 
You should have heard the squeals of laughter! These pictures do not tell the story at all, but hey, they're all I've got!
When we got home they made sure they still had belly buttons!
Carson loves to cheese it up!
Cade really won't stop for a picture!
This is the only picture I got tonight with the two of them relatively still!
They're like, "Mommy, we're supposed to be playing!"Carson just had to eat some poptarts on the way to Day Care the other morning - they usually wait til they get there and get a hot breakfast. This day they got two breakfasts!
Here's Cade with his poptart!
Cade and Carson looking outside at the snow the other day!
Wrestling with Daddy!
Playing after bath time!
Carson lost his ball and had to find it!
Cade was trying to fit this football in the seat of the truck - too big!
Carson parked his truck before bed!
Carson with the ball mid-air!
I'm so glad Kevin gave me this Christmas present! I'm learning so much in my Photography class! I have really been wanting to learn how to use my "Big" camera ever since we got it last Christmas, so the class was a great idea! Here's what I'm learning! This is the bus with the background in focus:

And the gas can just looks so cool with the background blurred out!
I did not take many pictures on our Charleston work trip - I was focused on other things, I guess. We got there Friday night and were relieved to see it was such a beautiful hotel. Here's Michael in the big chair! Mike had to show Cade that he was not the "Daddy" he was looking for!
Niccole and I were glad to see each other again!
The next night Cade and Carson played and went to sleep so much better than Friday night.
Carson points out his crib.
Cade tries to stay away from his crib!
And that's all the pictures I took! But the boys had fun all over Charleston with Daddy all day Saturday and today while I was in seminars!
